        Uh-huh,    life's like this,  uh-huh, uh-huh,  that's the way it is
|Dm   Bb  |F       C               |Dm      Bb      |F            C        |
            'Cause life's like this,  uh-huh, uh-huh,  that's the way it is

|F                                |Dm                                   |
   Chill out, what you yelling for?  Lay back, it's all been done before
|Bb                     |C                       |
   And if you could only let it be, you would see
|F                           |Dm                              |

|Bb                         |C                            |
   And you're talking to me, one on one, but you've become

 Somebody else 'round everyone else, you’re watching your back like you can't relax
      |Bb                                        |C          |
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me, tell me

|Dm                             Bb             |F        C          |

   You fall, and you crawl, and you break, and you take what you get, and you turn it into
|Gm                                             |Bb             |

   You come over unannounced,  dressed up like you're something else
|Bb                            |C                           |
